It's a Brand New Year

 "So it finally happened? I need details." Missie poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Gina as she ushered her into the living room.

"It was great." Gina grinned. "He's as good as I remembered but he seems sweeter this time." Missie smiled at her friend. Gina could not stop smiling. Where she would normally dish every detail and essentially critique a new guys performance in bed, she was holding back. That meant she really liked him. Missie was so happy for her, and couldn't help but think back to this time last year. Both girls had scurried around the week after Christmas trying to find incredible outfits for New Year's Eve. They each paid a $15 cover charge to the hottest club in town and shared a cab home. It had been a blast, but it was certainly a contrast to the plans for this year.

"So Stacey is bringing a few people and I told them to be here around eight-thirty. If you and Josh want to come a little early that's fine. Mike will likely be here around seven." Missie took a sip of her wine and turned down the music that was playing on the stereo.

Gina smiled, "Ok. I'm excited, this should be a nice night."

They chatted and caught up on the holidays. Gina had gone to visit her mom about an hour away and Missie had spent the day with her family at her grandfather's house. Neither of the girls tried to do anything with the boys for Christmas, but New Years was going to be nice and relaxing.

"So how are things with Mike going?" Gina asked. Missie smiled and nodded. She liked Mike. The more they hung out the less she was sure that they would really be together for the long haul, but she really did like him, and felt no need to end things for no good reason.

"I like him. I figure he'll be around for a little while."

"Just a little while?" Gina asked.

"I don't know." Missie waved a dismissive hand at the topic and took a sip of wine. "Let's go rummage through my closet I need to figure out what I'm wearing."

Gina smiled and followed her into the bedroom. They tossed through the closet until Missie found an outfit she was satisfied with. Gina had something in the back of her mind, but she was just so glad to bring Josh to hang out with her friends.

They finished their wine and then decided to head out for some dinner before it got too late. The holidays had taken a toll on both their wallets so they hit up a pizza joint for slices and beer to talk more about their newly acquired men.

This year was getting off to a much different start than last year, and both girls were very pleased with the changes.
